This morning, the Vatican shared the sorrowful news of the passing of Pope Francis.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell delivered the announcement on Vatican TV, saying:
“Dear brothers and sisters, it is with profound sadness that I must inform you of the death of our Holy Father, Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome returned to the house of the Father.”

Pope Francis, a humble servant and tireless advocate for peace, moved through the world with quiet strength, compassion in his heart, and justice guiding his every step. His voice spoke powerfully for the poor, the planet, and the unity of all people. Like a light in the darkness, his legacy will continue to shine brightly for generations to come.
